Cal State East Bay's final score of this contest was not indicative of how the game was played. The Pioneers and Lumberjacks battled back and forth for control of momentum throughout the first half of the contest. The teams took a scoreless tie into the intermission.

But the Pioneers would not hang their heads as they responded with a goal of their own as senior captain Carter Magee (Belfast, Northern Ireland.) scored on a penalty kick in the 82nd minute of the game. For Magee, it was his fourth goal of the season, which is second on the team. All four of Magee's goals have come in conference action.
 
The Lumberjacks would add one final goal in the 89th minutes just before the final horn to close the match with a 3-1 home victory.
 
East Bay attempted 15 shots on the game with 11 shots coming on goal while Humboldt State finished with 24 total shots and 20 shots coming on goal.
 
Seniors Ben Reiter (Pleasant Hill, Calif.) and Jonathan Cuevas (Reno, Nev.) paced the Pioneers with three shots each. All their shots came on goal except one attempt from Reiter.
